The university's president Rick Hurley issued an apology to neighbors who complained.

The campus has received noise complaints during past homecomings, but Hurley said he was more upset about the use of profanity. Had he known about the lyrics, Hurley said he would have moved the concert indoors.

Wale was criticized in May for canceling a performance at the DC Black Pride celebration. He later reached out to the organization and appeared at the celebration.

I heard a person use profanity during the taking of his deposition some years ago. The attorney taking the deposition simply asked the man, "Exactly how old were you when your mother taught you all those words?" That was the last of his swearing in the deposition.

The contentious relationship between Fredericksburg residents and college students has been terrible since the end of the all-girls era, and will continue to be exacerbated until they can completely separate college residences from city citizen neighborhoods. UMW has used no planning in off campus entertainment in addition to student housing, resulting in numerous resident complaints, and legal infractions. Until Mary Wash can accommodate student housing, the clash between students and residents will continue for years to come.

The concert was pretty awful, and the words coming out of Wale's mouth were uncomprehending so I'd be shocked if anybody could hear what he was saying anyways. More of a general complaint against a go-go band in college heights than anything.....no complaints about fireworks afterwords though!
